A date in the diary

With the route firmly fixed the only open question pertains to the date. Not any more....

It's looking highly likely the date of 2012 edition of La Marmotte has been finalised with the local tourist office in Bourg d’Oisans confirming wheels are set to roll on the 7th of July.

That said, there is no confirmation from the official website which simply offers a generic December date for when places on the ride become avaliable.

I'm inclined to think the 7th is accurate.  The hotels and chalets in the local area certainly think so with avaliability looking somewhat constrained (see below for a view from Expedia).  Advance bookings from tour operators perhaps or have people just been so damn organised already?



Above: any rooms left I wonder?

Clearly, it's time to think trip logistics.  Self organised or Tour Operator?

Before I hit the forums and other usual online resources, has anyone any tips?
